Agreed.  I used to have an old Sony DVD player that would ignore most of 
the studio's "do not skip" flags.  It was pretty nice.  Even my current 
Sony player will still let me skip about half of them.

As far as the regional DVDs, you can change your PC DVD player's region 
using regionset[1] a few times.  Then just rip the DVD, and re-burn.

Or you could just buy a region-free DVD player.
